Meanwhile… 050
Meanwhile… 050
The astronaut’s right. This was meant to be a simple joke episode of “Meanwhile…” that entailed an astronaut forgetting his keys. But then the child in Episode 1 reminded me that we had indeed gotten lost, somewhat. We still are, but we’re a lot closer along the way to what we wanted to say when we first began this with the notion that there would be an underlying narrative that ties many of the episodes together.
Along the way it became as much a visual journal of my thoughts and mindset as it is an experiment in differing drawing styles initially meant to keep myself busy during the onset of 2020’s pandemic when I very much felt lost, having only truly found my feet after being diagnosed Autistic in late 2019.
To be honest, both the child and I were never expecting to reach 50 episodes. It’s a milestone considering how often I abandon projects and get distracted by the next idea or impulse. That or just fall into a creative rut, often weighted also with depression, malaise, ennui or whatever you choose to call it.
At present, as I write this, the pandemic continues, as does this comic series.
As do I.
Here’s to the next 50 episodes and wherever that happens to take us, be the path ahead light or dark.
